"The whole world is now one vast uncontrolled experiment - the way it always was, Crake would have said - and the doctrine of unintended consequences is in full spate." -- Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake #BookSky

Since my Venus and Mars are in Cancer, this applies. But they will never find me under the ocean in my Gemini diving bell.

Sigh. I'll get the diving bell.

Me: This is a pic of what I’ve been working on. Friend: It’ll be interesting to see what it looks like when it’s finished. [It is finished]

Goodnight🌃 Betye Saar ~ Amid Hallucinatory Moons, 1962

Goodnight from the Post Office Research Station at Turlow Hill, where there are fears that Dr. Hine’s Galvanic Angels are trying to break through again. Goodnight from Dora Cobbett, burning alder to generate the twists of smoke needed for effective turifumy. Goodnight from Hookland.

It seems I've Interrupted my cat's divination session. She is not pleased.

Lots of fascinating links here www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2...

Yes, I would like some of this, please.

They laugh because I'm different. I laugh because I'm reading Marmaduke. That dog is outrageous

we may as well make bonfires on May Day

The funfair in the field behind my house is here for a fortnight. It’s a cacophony of rides, bells, announcements, Hollywood theme tunes, cowboys whooping and a Bela Lugosi Dracula laughing. And when it stops for the night, and that sound suddenly drops away, I sink into a hole of depression.

My greatest joy is when #Hookland manifests in the creative work of others. You all own it if you need and want it. It is a pre-enchanted playground to be used. I could never imagine nor produce the county as industrial synthwave artefact, but here it gloriously is as just that.

As the crow flies

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Give me a parade of clouds and I shall tell you tomorrow. For I am a witch. Nature gifts me omens and opportunities for augury. I need only the clouded sky for nephonmancy, need only the plants below me for phytognomy. Peeking around the corner of fate is my commonplace. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

"The paradox, and perhaps the redemption, is that the user always loses more than the used, for one has chosen erasure and the other is left with life — experience that is, however painful, lived." www.themarginalian.org/2026/04/06/i...

Who else has pretty much given up sleeping at night? No matter how tired I am, as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm wide awake.
